Dublin will be happy tonight

It's 2009 since Kerry last beat Dublin in the Championship, I don't think it will make much difference to them.

Did you miss the all Ireland final last year where kerry came within a whisker of beating Dublin?

The first one where Dublin played most of the game a man down? Or the second one where Kerry were soundly beaten by 6 points?

Yes, the one where kerry missed a penalty. Tell me this, when was the last time a team came closer to knocking Dublin out of the championship?

As someone else has pointed out, Mayo 2017 & 2016. They came considerably closer and even did it without being a man up for most of the game.

I know!! Kerry 2019 had their faults (Tyrone should have beaten them for one thing) but the fact remains that they're the team who got closest to Dublin in the last 3 years and were probably best placed to challenge this year.

Donegal the next closest I'd say. Mayo or Galway both have two many questions imo

How is that a fact? Mayo were closer in 2017 than Kerry were in 2019. The scoreboard doesn't lie.

" They came considerably closer"

Not sure how much closer you can get than a draw?
Do they add asterisks beside results now to say who had what sent off?

Macdanger is right, nobody has come closer than Kerry in the last three years to beating Dublin

Looks like Cork are the one short of a man

This is awful

That's the worst I've see the Rossies play in a long time. No game plan at all, we had it all our own way. Wouldn't read too much into it

Don't believe missing the Sligo game will make one difference to Galway. It's an advantage if anything, chance to rectify the shambles that was Tuam

Top points scorer in B and only 3-4, toughest schedule, disaster of a season

Crossmaglen with 100 points less but 200 less against sitting in the last playoff spot

Rory Brennan - clown 

I missed the Brennan one, straight red?

Send off a few more there Jerome

Tight one between Antrim 89 and myself this week. 2nd and 3rd highest weekly scores in B championship. I'm 9.6pts ahead but he has Singletary predicted to get 10.15 tonite. Be harsh on whoever loses out

Hopefully the Donegal bucks didn't pass on anything!

Couple of the Mayo lads have enough nasal issues as it is

?? What they up to?

Do you Herrins really want to go down the road of what county panel members get up to in their spare time? Cop on ta fook.

Such unfounded sh!te

Part of the problem is the pro Ole press. I heard Daniel James on newstalk during the week saying that United got 3rd last season without spending any money. I had to check that they'd spent £150m on three players.
Blame the glazers all you want but as of June United have a net spend of £500m over the last five years, that's just behind City. £80m on Maguire, £31 on Lindelof, £40 on Fred, £50 on AWB, £90 on Pogba. None of these lads would get into the starting 11 for Liverpool or City

[Question]

Well done to Knockmore. And Congrats to the Knockmore lads on this forum.

Tradition is always hard to beat in Gaelic football.

You'd have to think that that was Breaffy's big chance. But you never know!

This competition will be wide open again next year. It's just will they have the hunger?

Question: Where Balla playing Junior B only a few years ago?

Ger Flanagan was on the Mayo news podcast saying his first game for Balla was a Div 6 league game against Ballycroy

Fair play to Balla, nobody gave them a chance. Kilti will be kicking themselves according to reports.

Kilmaine finally got over the line at junior level.

And we're back at last


Great second half, their tackling was immense, Darren McHale my MOTM

If you listen to people in Ballina Frank Irwin should be starting for Mayo

From Knockmore- Kieran King, Colm Reape and Aiden Orme would be the three I'd think could make an immediate impact. Dempsey, Armstrong, Flynn and Pearse Ruttledge all have a lot of potential

From what I saw of Conor Diskin he won't make it, you have to be able to shut ur mouth the odd time and he can't

Haven't had any response from the 'B' draft folks so I've scheduled the draft for Thursday at 9pm. Any objections please let me know ASAP. Thanks.

Thursday will do, cheers. Any link to how the A draft finished up?

This seems fitting!

Must be a sickner to have put all that effort into it, fall short and now have it affect your start to the new season.

Only four years for that to ripen but I must say it's matured beautifully
